[Comparative study on da Vince robotic and laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer].

Objective: To compare the short-term clinical outcomes of laparoscopic and da Vince robotic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer and evaluate the safety and efficacy of robotic system.

Methods: Clinical data of 200 consecutive gastric cancer patients undergoing radical gastrectomy, including 100 cases of robotic (RRG group) and 100 cases of laparoscopic (LRG group), in our department from January 2012 to May 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Reconstruction of the alimentary tract was achieved using extracorporeal method through a minilaparotomy in LRG group, and intracorporeal robot-sewn anastomosis in RRG group.

[Totally robotic surgery for rectal cancer with transanal specimen extraction and robot-sewn anastomosis technique].

Objective: To summarize the clinical experience of transanal specimen extraction and introduce how to achieve the rectum reconstruction in robotic rectal cancer surgery.

Methods: Clinical data of 15 cases undergoing rectal cancer resection with the da Vinci robotic system in Jinglin Hospital between February 2012 and May 2012 were analyzed retrospectively.

Results: There were 9 males and 6 females with a mean age of (61.

[Application of surgical robotic system in patients with gastric cancer: a report of 120 cases].

Objective: To evaluate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of robotic gastrectomy for gastric cancer using da Vinci surgical system.

Methods: A total of 120 patients who underwent robotic gastrectomy using da Vinci surgical system for gastric cancer from May 2010 to April 2012. Data regarding surgical and early oncological outcomes were systematically collected in a specific database for statistical analysis.
